Neptunium's only naturally occurring isotope, 23793np, decays by emitting one alpha particle, one beta particle, and one gamma ray. what is the new atom formed from this decay?

The given isotope of Neptunium is

Alpha decay of an isotope results in daughter nuclide with mass number less by 4 units and atomic number less by 2 units than the parent isotope.

Alpha decay of Neptunium-237 can be represented as:

Beta decay of the above formed protactinium nuclide can be represented as:

Gamma decay releases only energy in the form of gamma rays, the nuclide remains the same.

γ

The new atom formed after the given decays is

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.

it should have an internal chamber and two thermometers sticking out of the top. the internal chamber will also be closed off from the outside.
